Maybe it's spoiling both of us.

[ he'll ALLOW IT ]

[residentflorist]

[hmmm....]

I'll allow it! [says the meta, but she decides she's not done yet and kisses him because he's right there.] You should consider letting me spoil you a little more, actually.

[residentmerc]

[ kisses mean he's the one with eyes that are a little sparkly afterwards, but he blinks it away to ? at her again ]

I don't need spoiling. [ well, no one does in his opinion, but he's also not sure how she would even. ... do that ]

[residentflorist]

Need, no. But why should that stop me either? [she wants to mostly because she thinks cloud could stand a few nicer things after the last several months (years) of bullshit.]

[residentmerc]

So the only thing stopping you is me?

[ he really does not know how to feel about spoiling because lol cloud having nice things but he's also holding his girlfriend around the waist and looking shy so like. ]

[residentflorist]

[he can keep holding her, that's fine.]

Uh huh. I can hear what you're thinking already. [in a (frankly terrible) impression of cloud:] "Aerith, nobody needs that. Stop that. I don't have anything I really want."

[residentmerc]

[ ... is that what I sound like... ]

I don't sound like that. [ >:/ ]

[residentflorist]

[she's just laughing sorry. the indignant response is funny.]

So that's not what you'd say at all?

[residentmerc]

[ frowning and not pouting at all ]

... No.

[ maybe but now he won't!!! ]

[residentflorist]

[hehehe.]

Theeeen maybe you should correct me. [she is being absolutely rude and letting her fingers stroke over the back of his neck again.]

[residentmerc]

[ shivers and lilts into it with a squint. stop that. distracting. ]

... Sure. You can... spoil me. [ he sounds like it was dragged out of him ]

[residentflorist]

[no? she kind of likes when he shivers and shifts into her hands like this, and it means she's taking this a step further to press closer and slow her hands down.]

That's better. Now I've just gotta think of what to do that you'd least expect!

[residentmerc]

[ everything she does is what he least expects, cloud doesn't say and doesn't think too hard because it's not quite accurate, but the raised eyebrow IMPLIES he is thinking it.

it's a little lost in the way he is kind of into the neck pets and that's horrid ]

And that's... spoiling me? [ SKEPTICAL ]

[residentflorist]

[no this is what he deserves probably.]

Sure is. Because it's little stuff you like that you don't realize you like so you wouldn't ask. [she says, pointedly continuing to pet her fingers over his neck with a widdle scratchie up into the ends of his hair.]

[residentmerc]

[ tugs her a little closer to kiss her how about that for what he likes!!! (this is after he's giving another pleased little shudder at the scritchies so he is not winning this) ]

So it's you trying to figure out what I like. [ he can read between the lines!!! ]

[residentflorist]

[he's not, no, but she is because she gets bonus kisses. hell yeah.]

More like...both of us figuring out what you like. [but yes it is a ploy for her to know how to do little things for him on special occasions, what of it.]

[residentmerc]

[ there is nothing of it, probably. maybe. ]

Because you already know what you like.

[ it's not really about that, and he's not disparaging to himself about it, more like a little wry. ]

[residentflorist]

Well...yeah. [she'll admit that much. cloud's not an idiot, he knows she was dating zack before and can probably figure out she learned some things about herself.] But you also know that means I'm not done figuring out what else I like, right?

[for example, she has recently learned she has a thing for pretty blonde men in dresses. that was new.]

[residentmerc]

[ ? ]

Yeah? Anything I should know about?

[ he's half cheeky they have barely made out. also ftr he is brushing his thumb on her cheek again now that they have stopped kissing. ]

[residentflorist]

[an actually cheeky smile.]

Not in public, Cloud. [it's possible she's not even serious, but she likes the thumb on her cheek given the little pleased music note above her head.] But let's just say I wonder how good you are with your hands now. After all, you did pay for Madam M's highest course...

[LET IT GO ALREADY.]

[residentmerc]

[ let it go already. is cloud's pained thought, but, also: ]

It wasn't her highest course.

[ because the luxury course was 3k and he was Fuckin Poor, but he looks pained hte second he said it because it means he remembers the prices. ]

[residentflorist]

[ . . .

she's staring him in the eyes for a moment.]

You're thinking more about the money than what I just said, aren't you.

[residentmerc]

[ HE WAS STUCK ON THE SLANDER THAT HE PAYS HIGH FOR HAND MASSAGES, YEAH, GIVE HIM A SECOND

looking away, blushing, the //// over his head bright and too visible ]

Well, uh... Like you said. We shouldn't talk about that other part in public.

[ but it was expensive... he wouldn't pay that much....... ]

[residentflorist]

[the embarrassment is very funny, so she scritches at his neck again before her hands slide down and over his shoulders, to his arms, and then his forearms where they start to wind around her waist.]

Then we won't.

[residentmerc]

[ following her hands as they slide over him... following... ]

... But we can in private. [ they haven't because of, uh, stares in himself, reasons, but he wants her to know it is still on the table. ]
